You can credit you account in Account Management.
One of the last vineyards picked, this section of Hyde vineyard in Carneros is planted to Corton Charlemagne clone on St. George rootstock. The 2018 Chardonnay Larry Hyde & Sons leaps from the glass with vivacious fresh grapefruit, lemon peel, orange blossoms and lime cordial notes with nuances of fresh ginger, hay, sea spray and chalk dust. The full-bodied mouth explodes with the whole citrus-fruit flavor spectrum—lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit on steroids—complemented by loads of spicy sparks and lifted by amazing freshness, sporting a provocatively creamy texture and finishing long.

The Chardonnay of Sonoma’s Mark Aubert (pictured) have a strong claim to being best Chardonnays in the world! Robert Parker loves this estate: “Mark Aubert is at the top of his game, and it is hard to believe any Chardonnay winemaker in the world is turning out a half-dozen Chardonnays at this qualitative level year in and year out. He has had an incredible run of great success” - Robert Parker “If you haven’t experienced the incredible talent of Mark Aubert, it’s about time, but it’s getting impossible to access his wines, given the massive interest from serious collectors and amateurs of great wine.” - Robert Parker These Chardonnays are Burgundian-styled, coming from relatively cool sites spread from Rutherford in Napa Valley to the far reaches of the Sonoma Coast. His offerings are all made like Grand Cru Burgundies with full malolactic, the use of French oak and lees stirring, but the purity of fruit, the textural dimensions set them apart.
